Greg's First Day of School

Greg started school again. I am so so proud of him and what he has accomplished. V kept lifting her shirt up during the pictures. I didn't understand why and when we tried to get a picture with her shirt down she got really sad. We finally figured out why when Greg put her down and she stood in front of the cupboards. She saw Greg take my last belly picture and wanted to take a picture of her tummy too. Haha, she observes WAY more than I think! I love that girl. She is so fun!

18 Weeks Pregnant

It looks like I am totally groping myself. Well, I am. Not intentionally though! :) I started progesterone shots to prevent early labor a few weeks ago. I had contractions for a couple of days and started getting pretty crampy so I decided to call my doctor. They told me to come in and they scheduled an ultrasound  to check out my cervix. That was really fun..not! Sure enough baby girl was head down and things were changing, so they started me on the shots. It's only once a week so it's not too bad, but they make my butt sore! haha. They also told me to do light bed rest, which is pretty much impossible with a 1 and 2 year old. Luckily, Greg got his volunteer hours done and has been helping a ton! I don't know what I will do when he goes back to school next week. The progesterone shots do seem to help. Mattix is getting three molars in and has been a sad boy, so I picked him up a few times yesterday. What a mistake! I was thinking that because I was feeling better I could pick him up and be fine. I am paying for it today. I want this baby to stay in for quite a bit longer so no more of that! Mattix is a big boy by the way. He is three pounds lighter than V! I think he will outgrow her someday soon :) Greg was able to feel the baby  move a couple of days ago. I was really excited about it!!! This baby is still quite the mover. I am totally loving it!

I have to get going, but I'll update more later. V has been dragging Mattix across the room and he has finally had enough

Quick Update

I thought I would do a quick update. My computer is about done for. Well, I imagine it could be fixed with a new battery and charger, but I don't have money for that. So I will be using Greg's computer more often, and I don't like typing on the mac for some reason. So I will probably be posting a lot less. Anyways, the kids had their Dr. appointments this week. They are growing well. Mattix weighs 3 pounds less than V. I think he will pass her in weigh someday soon! He is a big boy! His head is the same size as Vella's too, haha. I think that is so funny especially because V already has a big head for her age. Big heads for big brains, right?! haha :) The dr says they look great! V still has a milk allergy, but I hope she outgrows it. We gave her yogurt soon after she turned two and she got a rash and stuff, but it wasn't like it normally is, so I am really hoping she outgrows it soon! The Dr. wants me to take Mattix to Salt Lake to get his lungs checked out. He breathes a lot faster than normal kids, and he constantly wheezes also. They think maybe he has lung issues and that's why he sometimes aspirates. The Dr. said I probably wouldn't be able to get in for a few months. I hope it isn't too far out. I don't want to drive in the snow and I will be really pregnant. They have done so many tests to see what's wrong, so I hope they are able to figure it out! Anyways, other than that the kids are doing great!
Greg is busy busy! He has been volunteering like a mad man and working when he is not volunteering. He has this weekend off and I am SO HAPPY!!!! I will really miss him when he is in school. I love him so much. He is so much fun and I can't imagine being as happy with anyone else. He is my best friend.
I am doing well. I'll be honest...I really really dislike being pregnant. I feel really tired ALL the time!! It's pretty rough. The "morning" sickness is better. I am not sick so much, but I still get sick and nauseated often. I am so glad it's better! My face is almost back to normal. Thank you Emily for the Proactive. That stuff is amazing. It dried my face out a little at first. I used it less and it is the miracle face wash. I am so grateful! I have been getting contractions every now and then since about 12 weeks. I just try and take it easy and usually I feel okay. I really don't want another early baby. Oh and this is probably TMI for some, so don't read on if you don't want to be offended. My boobs are SO sore and big. They feel like they do when milk is coming in. It is so weird. Has anyone experienced that so early? It is weird and pretty annoying. lol...Anyways, that's all I have time for. Mrah!
